National Seniors Australia is a not-for-profit organisation established in 1976.  We rely on people like you to become a member, or use our services, so we can continue to tackle issues such as age discrimination, accessible housing, pension poverty, health costs, aged care and improve retirement income.

We also have a range of discounts and benefits to help with the rising cost of living. For only $45, anyone can become a member and it only takes a few minutes to join.
